Hi

Firstly I am delighted to hear your good news and send you both my best wishes . 

I am gutted it returned . I know you had a great response but sorry you have to face it all again . I will be thinking of you as you prepare to face the surgery . Do you have a date ? ( can’t scroll back !) 

So frustrating that a few small cells can escape detection . However they will be evicted for good and allow you back to your wonderful life uninterrupted. 

Thinking of you both ,

take care ,

hi Peackock62, thank you for your kind words, keep up the meditation i expect it helps greatly,cycling many miles  somehow allows me to empty my head, i would like to wish you all the best for your surgery on thursday, fingers crossed mine should be done and dusted  by then and be on some heavy duty pain relief, all the best and take care, cheers john.xx

hi court, thanks for your wishes, yes i have been gutted, but moved on now ,so on the 16 oct, the alien needs to be evicted for good, and fingers crossed no further treatment,  cheers  john. xx

Naughty little alien, that’s right the 16th he gets his marching orders. 
I can’t imagine how frustrating this must be but rest assured this is the gold standard way to get rid in the best possible way. 
remember to keep us posted. 
hugs

Hello and congratulations on your wedding xxx

My story is similar to yours. I was diagnosed in May 2017 and after chemotherapy my tumour had gone and I was on Wstch and Wait until cancer returned in August this year. 

I had my APR on 24th September with a temporary stoma. I must say operation wasn’t as painful as I imagined (keyhole). I am still getting to grips with Stoma. My results showed all cancer cut out and 13 lymph nodes taken had no cancer in them ! 

I will be having chemo as a ‘belt & braces’ starting soon. 

This site has got me through so many low times and answered so many questions !  

Good luck for 16th xxxx 

Jackie. 

Hi Jackie, thanks for message, sorry that your cancer has returned, or maybe as my consultant said,did it ever actually go away as when it's in it's micro state scans probably don't see it,yes Macmillan and the other platform are both amazing places for help support and advice,so wishing you well with the chemo, and hope all goes well, cheers John.xx

All the best with the chemo Jackie . Glad your safely through surgery . 

Take care ,
